Inward Conquest: Eradicate the Old

Neville's Inner Vision

Your verse is not about physical destruction but about the discipline of consciousness. The cities you are commanded to remove are the fixed beliefs, fears, and identifications you have treated as essential to your life. The LORD thy God is your I AM, the ever-present awareness that sees without judgment. When you inherit a land, you are inheriting a state of being, a dominion of quiet power already granted by your own consciousness. The command to destroy them is really a command to dissolve the habit of giving breath to those hostile images; to starve them of attention, feeling, and identification. As you align with the inner law, do what you know is true in your own heart, you erase the texture of those states, not the people themselves. The six nations symbolize whatever fears, temptations, or identities stand in the way of your inner inheritance. The act is inward, a turning away from the old story toward the new land of peace, clarity, and sovereignty. In this reading, each moment of decisively abandoning a familiar fear is like fulfilling the divine command in your own soul.
